Sizzlin'!!

That would be the easiest way to describe the weather today- HOT! Our cloudy, wet, coolish early summer weather is definitely over.

Once we got the mundane chores done, I was back in the studio, dyeing some clothing blanks I got from Dharma. One is just a tee, but the other is a lightweight rayon kimono jacket. It will be great to wear in hot weather over a tank. I'm going for some lighter, pastel shades.

I also dyed three different PFD cottons- I wanted to see what differences there would be. I used the Hoffman Bali PFD I just got, Pimatex from Dharma, and the Kona muslin I have been using from Joann's. While there were differences, they were pretty minor. Hopefully next week I'll be able to post a picture!

Not having a camera is driving me crazy. My new one is on its way- as of noon yesterday, it had left Hopkins, IL. Nothing else has been posted on the tracking data since. Hopefully it is in Colorado someplace? Or Nebraska? I should have it by Tuesday, not soon enough for me.

Sigh-- maybe I'll just get Shannon to take some pictures with her camera tomorrow.

About Me

I've had a needle in my hand as long as I can remember. After thinking for years that my brother got all the artistic genes in our family, I'm discovering the joys of creating my own fabric with dyes, paints, and about anything else one can use to color on fabric. My fiber art truly is the therapy that sees me though my day job as a clinical social worker.
